I watched hub review and this one, not sure what to make of this. Some games is actually quite alright, some it gets heavily stomped. In general, price sounds OK but depends how much they cost in the end on the stores. For all intends and purposes, if the price is met then its in a much better showing than the 5070 and 5070ti for the price point. If the price goes down eventually for the 50 series (which over time, should) then it becomes a bit more difficult to choose this over the 5070ti (vram capacity is still a shit show at this price for nvidia no matter what).

Nvidia DESERVES to be fleeced after the mind blowing stupid marketing saying 5070=4090. I did not see a single person that fell for that. And even with that out, the card is meh at best.

What I see in general in the indie scene people are much more willing to experiment with different concepts than regular AAA. For that alone I think is always a good idea to check the indie section. But I am also aware since there is a lot of volume, there is also a lot of straight up shovelware, which makes it difficult to navigate. By people talking about it, we can have more visibility as a group to see what is actually good and what is not from such a big selection.

My signal app tries to update itself. Installed from obtanium. It is a very irritating process, the thing tries to update, there is sometimes weird response times from clicking it (you click the notification and simply do not know if something is happening) and then without notice the thing restarts and then usually it works. But sometimes, the update notification still comes back. Because of that, I just update via obtanium

That is for sure true. And this variance that creates the “binning lottery” people talk about (and why there is some people that will pay premium for specific high binned parts)

So in this case, the rop were not detected because of firmware? Strange, but at least would be solvable. Let’s see if this situation for the 5090 is the same

If the spec does not follow the expectations, I assume they have to recall those. Right? If not, someone is asking for an official recall and get their rears destroyed.

There is a lot to be said about the 50 series so far:

• reviewers by en large are extremely fed up with this situation (msrp is a value, street value is way more inflated. This skews a lot the review process)
• people simply cannot get them (mostly scalpers for now I would say)
• if we check in a vacuum the msrp and performance between 40 and 50 series, in the same segment is not an impressive uplift
• the 5090 PCB is a massive fiasco (if you do not know what the problem is, check buildzoid video on the 12x6 connector and PCB issue). And by the looks of it, 5080 might suffer the same

My opinion regarding the pricing issue is going to be decided in the next months. If people cave for scalpers or pre scalper prices, price anchoring will be in full effect for next release. If people as a collective get a back bone and don’t cave in, prices will have to be more normal than this nonsense. Still the connector issue for 5090 really needs to be addressed in an official capacity for nvidia to do something about it.

I miss this show. Amazing writing overall

Nice catch. I’ll be sure after do run the real thing

Thanks, managed to have it installed locally bia pocket pal (termux was giving me errors constantly on compile). Out of curiosity, I made a very “interesting” prompt, and frankly I am not even surprised

EDIT: decided to be a little spicier, didn’t fail to amuse me

My plan is to go there at least once a year, so that would work for me

From my experience in the past, ups are done to be constantly on, and as far as I know, usually they have failsafe mechanism in case something is not working as intended. Laptop batteries do not have such extensive protection from what I know. However, if an ups is getting old (around 5 years or so) is probably best to change the batteries (if the model allows it)

That is true, however there are 2 things

• battery of this machine is toast (holds up for half an hour or less)
• as someone mentioned in another comment: unattended laptops with batteries can be actually bad. Batteries on certain cases can leak and cause fires, so for me, if it can work without it great, otherwise I have to drop the idea

I actually have contingencies for this. There is a ups around that I can use. It is good advice for sure, specifically for countries with fluctuations on the electric grid

I am planning after installing Ubuntu server and get some setup done, to actually sit it out and understand how much the fan is going and how I expect this to be an issue. Since my backups are probably going to be once in a week or so, I do not expect the laptop to have a lot of work (for now is just for file backup, no other services in there except tailscale)

At a later stage I will have to design a strategy to access and make sure is OK. Probably I am going to stick to tail scale and make sure no matter what both tailscale and ssh always start. Sure there can be issues but if minimal services can be guaranteed then it should mostly ok

You are not wrong with the vps. Although I am quite worried that my data stays with me no matter what. Not that I have state secrets or anything, but my stuff is my stuff. And to avoid issues with encryption and such, your own device most of the times is king

For sure not :D. I will be installing something such as ubuntu server, so I do not expect this issue (I don’t remember if the laptop has power saving via bios, but need to check)
